Rick's Story

Rick's Story is the eighth novel in Canadian cartoonist Dave Sim's Cerebus comic book series.

Cerebus feels like his babysitter and constantly tries to get Rick to leave, even try to get him married off to Joanne from Minds, who has also shown up.

Rick has descended into religious madness, and starts telling the story of Cerebus as an angel/demon in faux-King James Bible-style English.

Picking up where Guys left off, Cerebus is confronted with a strangely familiar face.

Eventually Rick leaves, but not before placing a spell on him and telling him to "go to hell", as Cerebus had told Joanne.

The first printing was a limited signed (by both Dave Sim and Gerhard) and numbered (out of 1000) edition.

[2] The book had little impact, and despite some memorable dialogue, one reader called it "the most forgettable of all the books so far", and found the faux-King James passages to be impenetrable,[7] although at Jazz Bastards it was said to be "a chapter in the story of Cerebus that deserves a place with other respected graphic novels.
